Okay I got direct rendering to work, I think by removing the intel framebuffer from my kernel modules. Now my graphics are definitely faster, but not as fast as they once were before I upgraded to the 2.8 intel driver series. For instance, Facebook.com on Firefox is much slower and laggy. And I've noticed it even in apps like mutt and less in gnome-terminal. I haven't experienced any freezes though, and the way it was before, it *definitely* would have frozen by now. So any thoughts on why it is slower? Do you think it will be faster in subsequent releases? I thought uxa was supposed to be better than whatever I had before.
